Latino Full Stack Developer, with strong Java and SQL and solid Angular.Now a confident developer with over 2 years of valuable experience in the FinTech industry, Ray has adored programming since before he was legally an adult. His interest in Computer Science started in his senior year of high school, with a Computer Science elective. Overcoming the difficulty of learning a programming language (Java) for the first time filled him with a tremendous sense of pride and accomplishment. It was then that he knew what he wanted to do with his career. He majored it in University, continuing the challenge. A key point in his time at university was in his Freshman year when he took on his first group project in Computer Science. The project was to use the Arduino Software to make robots complete various tasks, such as traversing an obstacle course and making the robot pick up tools and move them. This sparked Ray’s interest in team work in a technical environment and made him appreciate his colleagues input on a project. By his Senior year, Ray had completed dozens of projects. One of his last projects ended up being the one he would be most proud of in his technical career. This project involved creating a Python program that mined through Twitter, collecting data on how 5 major companies stock values related to the sentiment analysis of Tweets made by users. This was also a group project, and Ray had worked with 5 other team members to schedule time outside of class to complete the project. This put him in a position of leadership, which he was comfortable with. These projects taught him that no challenge is impossible when the right minds tackle it.
